    This study examined inner ear pathology in a deaf mutism case with a family history. Findings revealed bilateral cochlear and saccular degeneration, suggesting a genetic basis for hereditary hearing loss.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Genetics
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Investigating the pathological basis of hereditary deaf mutism.
    • Examining inner ear structures in a familial case of congenital hearing loss.

    Observation:

    • Analysis of temporal bones from a deaf mute individual with affected family members.
    • Detailed examination of horizontally sectioned temporal bones revealing bilateral pathology.

    Findings:

    • Significant cochleo-saccular degeneration affecting the scala media and saccular space.
    • Atrophy of sensory epithelia and cochlear/saccular nerves, with some scala media ectasia.
    • Enlargement of the internal auditory canal and cochlear aqueduct, while the pars superior remained intact.

    Implications:

    • Suggests a specific pattern of inner ear malformation in hereditary deaf mutism.
    • Highlights the importance of detailed histopathological analysis in understanding genetic hearing disorders.
    • Provides insights into the structural basis of congenital sensorineural hearing loss in familial cases.
